Lady Gaga is bringing Mayhem to Rio de Janeiro this May with a highly anticipated free concert on the iconic Copacabana Beach. Set for May 3, 2025, the concert will be open to the public on a first-come, first-serve basis and promises to be a monumental event in the singer’s career.
The concert will also be broadcast live on Multishow and TV Globo starting at 9 p.m. BRT. Fans who can’t attend in person will still be able to experience the excitement of the performance from the comfort of their homes.
“It’s a great honor to be asked to sing for Rio. For my whole career, the fans in Brazil have been part of the lifeblood of the little monsters,” Gaga shared in a post on X. “I’ve been dying to come perform for you for years and was heartbroken when I had to cancel years ago because I was hospitalized.”
The pop star’s last visit to Brazil was in 2012, and she was scheduled to perform in Rio in 2017, but had to cancel the show due to being hospitalized. Expressing gratitude for the fans’ support during that time, she added, “Your understanding that I needed that time to heal meant the world to me. I am now coming back and I feel better than ever and am working so hard to make sure this show is one you will never forget.”
This performance will be part of Todo Mundo no Rio, a new initiative aimed at showcasing Rio de Janeiro’s entertainment scene. Gaga’s return to the city will be an unforgettable celebration of music and culture for her devoted Brazilian fans.
The Mayhem on the Beach concert comes as Lady Gaga prepares to release her new studio album, Mayhem, scheduled for release on March 7, 2025. The album will feature hit singles “Die With a Smile,” “Disease,” and “Abracadabra.” With a mix of high-energy pop and boundary-pushing artistry, the album is expected to be another landmark release for the Grammy-winning artist.
The beach concert follows in the footsteps of another iconic music event in Rio, when Madonna performed a free concert on Copacabana Beach in 2023. That show, which marked the finale of her The Celebration Tour, drew an estimated 1.6 million attendees, making it the largest concert of Madonna’s career.
Lady Gaga’s Mayhem on the Beach concert promises to be a major highlight of the year, adding to her already legendary list of performances. As the date approaches, excitement is building for what is sure to be a once-in-a-lifetime event for fans in Brazil and around the world.
